It's cool. It's not as straight out awesome as KoC is, but still cool.

Something is niggling at me slightly though, it doesn't seem to lend itself to a great live song as much as it should, jitters from performing new songs maybe?

Well after listening Starlight live (again we need to listen to the real recording of the song to be sure about it) , it s obvious any of the new ones are sounding totally different from each other .

They didn t lie, the whole album is probably unique because any of the 11 songs is unique .

So i can t fuckin wait now for Take A Bow, Invincible and Assassin

If this is a single, and if there is a video, I can just picture it being some chick in a sparkly shirt dancing around and shaking her hair back and forth, with little sparklies sparkling on a sparkly background.

It's just that sparkly.

I might be the first to post this.

Starlight is Burning Bandits after a large retooling. I cannot imagine them having two songs so similar on the same album. While I like what Starlight is now, I was really enjoying the direction that BB was going! Oh well bootlegs for posterity.

for future reference: I could be wrong!

but not as good as KOC.

that just fucks you over when you listen to it! :D

Max Moon

14-05-2006, 07:07 AM

For now it s my least fave "new one" out of the three i ve heard last night .

And of course far behind both Burning Bandits and Debase

It s a nice song and I think there s the need for at least one "mellow" song on the album to add variety so nothing wrong with that .

It s just this song is too "normal" when u re comparing it to SMBH and KOC .

Yeah too "normal" that it s main prob to me, I like Muse insanity :p

Matthijs

Mark a meh for me. I've never liked U2. I'd rather have some Britney/Prince and Telstar/Queen/Morricone.

It's not annoying though, just meh. Especially the Bliss-like backing track, they've done that too many times (Bliss, Shine, Stockholm, even KOC has a little of it...) hope it's better on the album.

This guy speaks the truth and I'll tell you why:

Watch the TV broadcast vid and before Sunburn, Matt played the EXACT same spacey intro he does before Pee Candle/Burning Bandits in the States.

I have to say all their songs have other great singer's influence in them. I like the song alright-- it's better than the other two but I don't find it very "Musey".

I hope the other songs bring better fortune to their album.

Anarki_666

14-05-2006, 02:08 PM

Wow, just going to back up what's already been said that this really sounds like U2 and The Smiths. More U2 though. Sounds alright to me I'm reserving my opinions until I hear the studio version.

Nope, I think the one with the cut in the front is the only one.

I think at one point in the song it says "this digestive feeling" or "this constipated feeling" .. :eek: It's in the 39 second mark.

integral

14-05-2006, 02:27 PM

Oh, and if MUSE have any sense in their heads this should be a single. Definitely, it has great chart potential and will appeal to U2 fans - of which there are a few.....

14-05-2006, 03:05 PM

Hmm.

Listened to it a few times now, and I'm not really getting into it all that much. In my opinion it's certainly by far the least inspired of the new tracks we've heard so far. The riff in the background when he sings 'hold me in your arms' sounds very reminiscent of Coldplay to me for some reason.

That said, I won't make up my mind on it until I buy the album. The 'our hopes and expectations' bits are good.

uka

14-05-2006, 03:24 PM

I think it sounds a bit like The Smiths in some way

~screenager~

14-05-2006, 03:41 PM

I think it sounds a bit like The Smiths in some way Yeah, I think so too, but I can't put my finger on why. Apart from the lyric, "People who care if I live or die". Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now.

At first it just sounds okay, but then it grows on you and becomes really lovely. So that's the second grower on the album. I wonder what the NME will think.

robbiemcm

14-05-2006, 03:52 PM

So yes, BB/PC has become Starlight I think :happy:

No, I refuse to believe it! BB/PC/TK was my favourite of the bootlegs, it was great just the way it was. I don't see how it could have become starlight though. I can't hear any similar lyrics, nor timing. There's no bridge just before the (supposedly now non-existent) solo.

How is it now deep? I know the lyrics aren't complicated and filled up with bullshit analogies but it's about someone spilling their heart out for a girlx50.

Last night i was thinking that maybe theres a bit of A crying shame in it...or could that be KOC..i dunno im a bit confused me thinks lol

But Starlight sounds amazing!

It's really nice.
Muse have tried to put quieter songs on their albums before, and they've been 'skipped'. this one is beautiful and can hold its own.
Does sound keane, u2 coldplay ish, but it's one song, those guys do this all the time, muse show they can do any style, and they make it sound ace. add something to it

We've had 3 new songs, each sound so different. I can't wait to see what other surprises there are in store.
I hope des, bandits, debase, and crying shame are on the album (or b-sides), i don't hear enough resembelence to these songs

Good for you.

:(

Ffs, what's wrong with me. This is like, S4a, pt.2 and I love S4a, why can't I bring myself to like this cheesy little song?!

I wasn't fussed with SBH cause I love dancing to it. I wasn't too fussed with KOC cause I figured, okay, here's one song off the album which I really hate (well, certain parts of it), nothing much wrong with that. By now I'm kinda worried. Well, not really worried. Indifferent, more like. Which is bad. :stunned:

But I can sorta empathise with people who just couldn't bring themselves to like SBH. Not the nooby idiots who claimed Muse had "sold out," but the ones that just didn't care for it.

Have you ever seen them live? They're far from boring.

And I spend all of last week defending SBH for being an amazing song but as soon as I don't like a Muse track it gives you the right to pick at my other musical tastes? Does not compute.

Stecloud

14-05-2006, 11:47 PM

It may grow on you. I was not very keen on it at all last night, despite what I may have said, but recently something just clicked in my mind about it, in a way I never expected to. I love it now - let's hope it's the same for you.

i was there too, and i have to say that they weren't spectacular, muse afterwards completely blew them away.

however, i did see franz twice earlier this year, and they were muuuuuch better. great audience interaction at a festival, and then a really awesome smaller gig. maybe they've just improved a bit in the last couple of years.

starlight... spectacular.

Starlight is great, a few other people and I have said its Black Holes answer to Sing For Absolution.

Everytime he goes "ooooooooooh" or "wooooooooo", I expect him to continue: "Sally can wait".

Especially the Bliss-like backing track, they've done that too many times (Bliss, Shine, Stockholm, even KOC has a little of it...) hope it's better on the album.
Bliss, SS, Shine, Shrinking Universe, Screenager, Falling Away With You, Knights of Cydonia and Starlight. Surely that is enough of that same damn noise now?

Since a lot of folks who initially disliked SMBH liked SMBH live, I perdict a lot of folks that liked Starlight live will dislike the album version. The German reviewer suggested it was a-ha-like, rather than Strokes, Killers, or U2 so I expect it to be even more 80's-synth/MOR. That won't bother me, I remember Hunting High and Low and Scoundrel Days as very good albums (if you ignored a couple of the really poppy singles).

Yeah, I agree. It reminded me of U2 when I heard it, although I don't mind the song. The chord sequence goes well together. I'm just interested in what the new songs will sound on the album.

I've only heard Stalight once and I love it. Yeah some will say it's got an air of U2 about it, (that's what sprung to my mind at first), but that's cos it's in our nature to compare tunes. To be honest I thought Knights had a certain 'tornadoes' style to it (probably on my own there though).

Mostly yes, but the other new one is a little different too. This is the only one of the three that's generic old Muse, and was the one I found boring live.
BOOORING indeed. The lyrics are pisspoor.

Anyone who cares, i think the lyrics are:

Far away
This ship has taken me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

Starlight
I will be chasing you starlight
Until the end of my life
I dont know if its worth it anymore

And hold me in your arms
I just wanted to hold you in my arms

Starlight
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to re-ignite
all the souls that were
dying just to feel alive

And hold me in your arms
I just wanted to hold you in my arms
Nice one.

This song makes me think that this album is going to be huge. Muse's 'Mellon Collie' or 'Know Your Enemy'. For better or worse...

Zane

15-05-2006, 02:43 PM

It sounds like they've grown, all three from their new album i've heard are more upbeat, i think this will be immense.

Let's not get into what everyone thinks is rubbish, that's all subjective. I MEAN that this is the most generic of Muse's new stuff...which suggests that everyone is happy for them to keep churning out the same sh*t which is quite boring in my opinion because there's a danger of people saying [non Muse fans this is] "oh yawn we've heard this all before, is that all they can do?"].

But then there were the people who think SBH is generic, just not generic Muse. I like Starlight, and I don't care if it sounds like their other stuff, nor do I care if non-muse fans don't like it.

I do prefer it when bands move on, unlike Oasis who are stuck in the 1990's thats why their albums just get worse. And I liked the White Stripe's new album because it incorporated loads of new ideas. I think you need a balance, I think Starlight reassures me that they haven't lost their old abilities.

I m a fan of SMBH and proud of it

And live it s killing StarLight without a doubt

Don't get me wrong. I like SMBH, it's a good song, it's a new ground for them. It's great SMBH made the first single, and I just looooove all the negative feedback it produces. :LOL: It's a really good sign.

But at the end of the day, songs that involve feelings are the ones that "touch" me. And 'Starlight' is faaaaar far away from 'SMBH' in that sense. ^^
